Dear Equator Net members,
Knowing that some of you are active in educational activities, the following opportunity may be of interest:
The Oracle Education Foundation has announced the opening of ThinkQuest International 2008 and is inviting students and teachers from around the globe to take part in the international project learning competition.
ThinkQuest is open to students between the ages of 9 and 19 and their teachers worldwide. Students are encouraged to team with peers in other regions to develop Web sites on educational topics. The program is designed to help participants develop important skills such as teamwork, critical thinking, self- direction, problem solving, and technology skills.
Qualifying entries will be published in the ThinkQuest Library. Winners will receive prizes from the Oracle Education Foundation, including laptops and $1,000 school grants for the top five teams in each age division, travel to the annual ThinkQuest Live event for the top three teams in each division, and digital cameras for the team that receives the Global Perspectives Award.
Students and educators interested in participating should visit the ThinkQuest Web site. The deadline for applications is April 2, 2008.
Warm regards,
Gaby
